THURSDAY JAN. 9th 1908 Wasn't so long ago, was it, when we heard about the Demo crat's being hopelessly divided and about there being so mar ; y different kinds of Democrats? After this panic, we won't hear so much from Republican orators who told us through five campaigns, that" under Cleve land's administation the fires went out in the furnaces. When will the state see the last of destruction that came from Republican rule in reconst ruction days? Now a new syndicate is threat ening to give some foreign government a number of the frondulent reconstruction bonds so that the state can be sued. BRYAN AND THE DEMO CRATIC PARTY. It has grown customary for certain enemies of Mr. Bryan to criticize him as Democracy's old man of the sea hanging around the party's neck and preventing its return to power. These ut terances* come from those whose bitter predjudies do not per mit them to do Mr. Bryan the common justice to which even the vilest are entitled. Mr. Bryan has been the nom inee of the Democratic party twice simply and solely because he was the choice of the Demo cratic party twice. If he is the nominee a third time it will be because he is a third time the party's choice. Then what be comes of all this talk about Mr. Bryan as a dog in the manger? It is pure rot The very fact no man can successfully contend against him for the nomination, shows that the Democratic mas ses prefer him. And if they prefer him, why should Bryan give way to some candidate whom they do not want? He was swindled out of the presi dency in 1896. In 1904, these same critics said if Mr. Bryan would get out of the way the Democrats could succeed. Bryan got out of the way and the result was the most ruinous defeat that the party has suffered in thirty years. In view of their miseaable perform ance isn't it about time for them to quit talking of Bryan's fail ure? Mr. W. X. Reid Cashier. Mr. J. W. Blackwelder asked the board of directors of the Hickory Banking & Trust Co , at a recent meeting to release him from the position of cashier on account of not being able to en dare the confinement. Mr. Blackwelder has been courteous and exceedingly pleas ant in serving the people and has also made a success of the business. A better successor could not be found than Mr. Reid, who is ever ready and willing to serve the people in his usual genial way. Editors should avoid needless repetition in their writing. As an example of that bad habit we note the announcement of an exchange that anapplicant for a counsulship "was prominent in Republican politics in San Fran cisco" and that that he "was a notorions jrrafter." A Domestic Tragedy. A sad domostic tragedy wa? aired before Justice W. F. Brun - j on Monday mcrning. Monro;- ! Harris, a ginger cake gentleman was the defendant and his spous* who is several shades darke" igured as the injured innocent. Mrs. Monroe deposed and j "allowed as how she spent Sun-] day at mama's and at Miss Sallie Busses and Mun he lay up in de house all day and hit Sunday and he drinkin liquor." Mrs. Mon returned home amid the gathering shadows of even ing when after a spicy conversa tion with her Lord and master, so she affirmed, he sprang on I er and choked her. A fat ladv of color came for ward and told dramatically how Mrs. Mon dashed into her vard scarcely able to speak. ''She said" continued the fat one sink ing her voice to a dramatic whisper: "Mon choked me.' "And de slobber hit wuz running out'n her mouf." Called to the stand in bis own defence, Monroe turned a hate ful glance upon the poartly form of his mother-in-law and point ing dramatically at her exclam ed: "Boss, thar sots my trouble. Thar sots my trouble. My mother-in-law is the cause of it all." "Y'rhonor kin I say a word?" Angrily interupted the abused relation. ''No" said the Justice. "You keep quiet." Monroe den ied the choking but admitted the lying up and drinking down. "Two dollars and cost" said the Justice. This is Worth Re membering. Whenever you have a cough or cold just remember that Foley's Honey and Tar will cure it. Do not risk your by taking any but the genuine. It is in a yellow package. W. S. Martin & CJo. Strange how quickly the scale turns. Only a few months ago the rail-roads were so prosperous their business had outgrown them, rtow they are on the verge of bankruptcy and people are asked to believe that a passenger rate which has been in force only ninety days coused all the trouble. Mrs. SetzerDead. Mrs. Jon. Setzer whose failing health was hardly noticeable died very suddenly Tuesday night. Her death was a shock to those about here. She leaves her bus band and a little babe 2 or 3 months old to miss her. Her remains were taken Wednesday morning to her for mer home at Statesville for interment. The company reprented by J. A. Herndon and E. V. Morton is the NORTH STATE MUTTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of KINSTON, N.
